... What wilbur is saying is that he has a 25 GRT Master most likely INLAND. This means that ALL of his credible Sea Service was on vessels 15 GRT. One day over 15 GRT would get Willbur a 50 GRT Master. Do you have reading comprehension problems. Just what don't you understand about "NEAR COASTAL"? Near coastal is not for the INLAND WATERWAYS. Ever heard of a line of demarcation? Western Rivers. The Huey P. Long Bridge. Sheesh, Bob! Its a rather easy test. Wrong! More people fail than pass at least the first time around. The problme that WIlbur is ranting about to provide a smoke screen for his lack of credible tonnage is now the USCG and TSA (TWIC) require a significant background check. If you have a DUI or "other" events that may place you in a security risk catigory and scuttle your Captiains license. Heck, there are even new and increased HEALTH requirments that list drugs such as high blood preasure and others which will deny a renewal. Oh, there are also body mass index (BMI) requirmenst. In other words., those fat ass coonasses down south may get denied a renewal cause their so fat. No DUIs, no parking tickets, no speeding tickets, no moving violations no traffic violations of ANY sort. Got a ticket on my bicycle a few years ago but beat it in court - the judge dismissed it. BP is in the normal range, no other maladies, eyesight 20-40. No color blindness. I'm 5'10" and weigh 165 so there goes your fattie fantasy. I could kick your sorry butt anytime in a foot race, bike race or swim race. Those fat coonasses don't include Joe as I've seen a photo or two of him and he's ugly but not fat. LOL! Makes me wonder, though, how Ms. Terry managed to get a Master's license - surely she must be half blind to abide Joe's puss! snipp And I support increased requirments completely. It time to keep the drug users and fat asses off the water. Agreed! But that is already covered in the USCG Masters Licence. No redundant TWIC card is necessary for those things. Its real simple. I get my 200 GRT Master NC/1600 Mate Near Coast and all is well. a few years later im so obease I cant get up a ladder, my blood preasure is so high Id blow, im an alcoholic etc... in other words Im not fit for duty. Duh, that's why you must retake the physical and drug tests at every re-issue. You sound like you don't have a clue about it. Maybe Joe is right when he says you're a fake?? I say make the rules MORE strict! Freaking Commie! so why are you republicans,SLAP Freaking LIBERAL COMMIE! Take a hike! Wilbur Hubbard |
